Banks are still wary of Apple's new system and have not decided whether their mobile apps will include facial recognition for authentication and payments. Many argue that Face ID has not yet been proven to be more secure than Touch ID.
A report by the Korea Herald claims that at least 20 local banks have so far expressed concerns about Face ID, especially after recent tests revealed that the system can be bypassed by doppelgangers and hackers with specially designed masks.
On the other hand, there are several banks, both in the United States and worldwide, that have confirmed that Face ID will be added to their online banking apps at some point in the near future.
Currently, banking apps that offer Touch ID support are forced by the API to switch to Face ID on the iPhone X, although a notification appears stating that the facial recognition system is not supported. The feature is used for authentication and payments, but apps require full support from banks for top-notch security and compatibility with Face ID.
Time will tell whether Face ID will ultimately gain the trust of users and businesses.
